NHS chief promotes seasonal flu vaccine for frontline workers

22 September, 2011

NHS Chief Executive Sir David Nicholson has written to colleagues regarding the seasonal flu immunisation Programme 2011/12, urging active support within the NHS for promoting the programme during the winter.

He states that as there will be no Department of Health national advertising campaign for seasonal flu vaccination this winter, it is as crucial as ever for employer organisations to offer and promote the seasonal flu vaccine to their frontline healthcare workers and to eligible patients.
